A DREDGING SUGGESTION! Did it 
ever occur to you, Mr. Voter, that in 
the pretty little seashore resort, Man- 
chester, there is not a public landing 
where one may land in a boat at any or 
all times? True, the Town Wharf is a 
public landing, but no boat can pass 
under the railroad bridge at high tide to 
reach this landing; nor can a boat pass 
under the bridge at low tide because the 
channel immediately under the bridge 
cannot be dredged by the town and wi// 
not be dredged by the railroad, thus leay- 
ing a mud bar at this point. 
But you say there is a pier at the Mas- 
conomo Park. Yes, there is a pier 
there, but it can be reached only at high 
tide. When the tide is out the pier is 
high and dry and no boat can get within 
500 yards of it. Consequently the only 
place to land is at some private wharf. 
This is something for the citizens to 
consider. Here town of over 
‘thirteen million dollars valuation, re- 
is a

puted to be one of the finest and most 
desirable summer water resorts on the 
New England coast, with scores of boats 
owned by citizens of the town, and 
yet—not a place in town where one 
might land by boat at all hours except by 
intruding on private property. 
For several years the question of 
dredging a channel to the pier at the 
park has been before the town. Each 
time it has been voted down. It was 
voted down this year. 
The matter will be brought forward 
again at the meeting on April 12. See 
to it that you conserve the best interests 
of the town by voting in favor of the 
measure. 
True or false, that which is said of 
men often occupies as important a_ place 
in their lives, and above all in their des- 
tinies, as that which they do.—Victor 
Hugo.

So much has been said both ‘“‘pro’’ 
ce . 
and con’ the proposed improvements 
at Masconomo Park, Manchester, that 
the attitude of the Park Commissioners 
in this regard is of interest to all. Sev- 
eral weeks ago one of the commission- 
ers set forth his views through the med- 
ium of the press, so that it is plain how 
he stands, A little incident which oc- 
cured yesterday noon leaves no doubt as 
to which side of the wall another mem- 
ber of the board falls. In fact, those 
who saw this member of the board yes- 
terday noon, say he slipped most un- 
ceremoniously from the solid granite wall 
on which he was walking knee deep into 
the mire on the other side. Part of the 
dredging equipment is tied up at the 
Park and with a massive steam shovel 
scoopsup the mud, brought from the 
inner harbor by barge and dropped 
alongside the wall, and lifts it over the 
wall onto the park. It was in connection 
with this work that our good friend of 
the park commission went to the park 
yesterday noon. He was walking along 
the wall, and when at the point where 
the drippings from the shovel spattered 
onto the wall, he slipped. Fortunately 
he slipped in, not out, for had he fell the 
opposite direction he would have been 
treated to a cold water rather than a mud 
bath. 
"They" Means “ You.” 
Why don’t ‘‘they’’ keep the streets a little 
cleaner? 
You ask with keen annoyance not undue; 
Why don’t ‘‘they’’ keep the parks a little 
greener? 
(Did you ever stop to tnink that ‘‘ they ” 
means you? ) 
How long will ‘‘they’’ permit this graft and 
stealing? 
Why don’t ‘‘they’’ see that courts are 
clean and true? 
Why will ‘‘ they *’ wink at crooked public deal- 
ing?

Improvement of Beach. 
As intimated last week, the Manches- 
ter board of Park Commissioners have 
mailed during the past week a letter to 
owners of bath houses on Singing Beach, 
worded as follows: 
“© Dear Sir or Madam: 
“Tt is the intention of the Park Com- 
missioners to endeavor to improve the 
general appearance of Singing Beach the 
coming year, and as you have a bath 
house upon this beach, we desire you to 
co-operate with the board in this matter. 
““We desire to have all the bath 
houses of the same color (dark green), 
to conform with the town’s bath house. 
Also to have houses repaired if necessary 
and, if possible, placed in line with the 
other houses on the beach. 
“© This will greatly improve the’ looks 
of the beach as well as your own house. 
*“ Will you kindly give this your 
attention at once and greatly oblige, 
“*Yours for improvements,

The County Treasurer's Report. 
The report of County Treasurer 
David I. Robinson contains much of 
local interest. 
On the “‘receipts’’ side of the ledger 
Manchester stands out prominently with 
a county tax of $19,327.17. Toward 
the support of the Training School at 
Lawrence Manchester paid $60.71. 
Toward the construction of the Cut 
bridge at Gloucester Manchester paid 
$5400, nearly half as much as Glouces- 
ter. Dog licenses, $282.60. 
Under ‘‘expenditures’’? Manchester 
was refunded from dog taxes $245.10. 
Under the amounts paid for damages by 
dogs was the following: John Baker, 
damage, $8.25; Edward S. Knight, ap- 
praiser, $4.60; Thomas H. Lethbridge, 
appraiser, 75 cents; Albert E. Peters, 
£9.00; total, $22.60.
